Ore., April 24 (The Special News Service) The Pacific North est is the dark-hone entry in the national rearmament industries race, but the boys In the know are betting she'll finish In the money. While the bulk of vitel plants have mushroomed In the east, the northwest has been adding generators at Bonneville and Grand Coulee dams and quietly taking stock of Its unexploited minerals. The region has iron ore adapt able to electric sme'ting, chro mite, chromite sands, manganese, alunite for aluminum, phosphate rock for phosphorus and phos phates, magnesite for magnesium which metallurgists call "the metal of the future, ' metalurgi cal coal, limestone, nickel, mo lybdenum, tungsten, antimony, quicksilver, silica, copper, zinc and lead. All are as nccessaiy to Uncle Sam's military macmne as khaki and cantonments. Add low-cost power from the government's Huge Bonneville and Grand Coulee dsms at present the only urge blocks of electrical energy available In the United States and you have the reason wh the experts are sure the west's long-awaited industrial boom Is on. Utilizing Columbia basin pow er, the northwest has built or Is building two largo aluminum fac tories which are exiicctcd to be producing 222.000,000,000 of aluminum annually by the summer of 1942; two ferro-alloy plants; three chemical plants, one producing toluol for explos ives, another carbide, and the third ch'iorat and chlorine de rivatives. There are copper refineries at Tacoma, Wjjh.. and Great Falls, Mont. Electrolytic !nc is pro duced at Kellogg. Idaho, and at Anaconda and Great ?alls. Mont. In Immediate prospect are more aluminum plants, possibly utilizing the alunite of the west; another electrolytic zinc plant; a plant for high-grde iron and steel; plants for producing elec trolytic manganese and chrom ium; a second carbide plant also producing ferro-alloy, and an electric furnace magnesium plant. Large quantities of minerals on the war department's critical list items in which there may be a deficiency alto come from abroad, but at least three of them, asbestos, platinum and ti tanium, are found in Oregon and the latter two an present in commercial quantities. Minor miracles of metallurgy are providing accest to new sup plies for some of tht metals. But what of power? The total output of Bonneville, 918,400 kilowatts, can be sold AMERICA'S LARGEST SELLING WINE ' iff Romo Win Company, XSi OF THE DISCRIMINATING s Girl Managers to Industry and to public utility districts, for which 80 per cent of the total capacit is reserved under terms of the Bonneville act. At present the four operat ing generators of Bonneville's ultimate tun are being rapidly loaded. However, Grand Coulee went into production this spring with one generator operating. It eventually will turn out 1, 890,000 kilowatts. Already there is talk of this region as the light oietals center of the nation. Ferroalloys, used in making steel, are manufactur ed from minerals found in the northwest or close enough for economical transportation. In addition, chromite or de posits are common throughout the west. Seven lodes in south western Oregon, untouched since the Worid war day. are being investigated by the OPM in the hope of building up depleted stock piles. Depos.ts in Grant county, central Oregon, also are being examined, as well as chro mite of ferro grade found Id Alaska. Soon Oregon chromium may be used to make tough armor plate for battleships, one of its principal war-time uses. But in the midst of all the de velopment, the planners are looking ahead to the day when the war-born emergency will be over. In preparation for this day, the northwest is laying the foundation for converting to peacetime uses the industries established for national rearma ment. The slump between the end of abnormal production and normal peace-timo operation will be brief, th-y hope.

Fresno, California 7s EXAMINED FOR AIRCRAFT L Eighty-one applicants for en trance to the new aircraft sheet metal school soon to be established in Klamath Falls ap peared at the Klamath Union high school to t a k e aptitude tests given by H. F. Blackmore of the Lockheed Aircraft com pany Wednesday night The turnout, far above local expectations, represented about 80 per cent of the total of 102 applications filled out following announcement of the training class last Friday.

Approximately 20 students will be placed in each class and enough classes held to handle all those who qualify. Meanwhile, Keith Ambrose, chairman of the youth defense council, urged all men Who wished to apply to do so. When enough applications are in to make up another class, it will be formed regardless of whether the present classes are finished. It was also pointed out that all those eligible for NYA proj ects are qualified to enroll for the sheet metal class. If they can not be placed here, they will be sent to other sections of the state where schools are now being held. METAL SGHDO 88i mr m .-BaYaBBYaWk mmWFmm. w Tired of your own cooking?

"If It Swims It's At Tim's" flNflLVSTTAKES STOCK OF NAZI E By DsWITT MaeKElf ZIE Aasodeted Press Writer Even as the final throes of defeat grip the allies in the bat tle of Greece the London press Is raising the call for an accounting of Britain's whole Balkan ad venture, and this is being echoed In Australia, whose sons have played such a heroic and bloody part in holding thu right wing of the allied line. Certainly there are some points that can stand a bit of clearing up. One of the chief questions which appears to have been puzzling America was rather well summwi up by a highly placed newspaperman who flung at me with some as eerblty: "What I want to know to why the deuce the Britisi got mixed up in this Balkan mess when they must have known from the start that the chances were they would be smashed.' Well, that's a fair query, so let's see what we can make of it First off, strange though it seem. the British participation has been largely for political rather than military reasors. It'a true that the odds were greatly against the allies being able to stop the Hitlerite war-machine, although there was always the chance that luck might give them a break, and permit the opening up of a new front against the Germans. However the fundamental rea son for Britain's action lay in the fact that she had given her bond to aid Greece against ag gression. The Greeks didn't need any help to give the fascists a beating, but when the nazis started to pour a million men down through the mountain passes the Hellenes were ready for the British to fulfill their obligation. Now if there are cynical read ers who believe that the English would keep their word only if it served their own purpose, there is this to consider: What would world opinion have said of Britons if they had run out on their little ally? The answer is that it might have cost John Bull every friend he had. Anyway, John kept his bond. Things had been going so well in Libya tliat he could release troops lor tne tsaiKki snow. He appears to have landed some sixty to eighty thousand men with full equipment in Greece and was preparing to send many more when without warning the Germans started their whirlwind conquest of the Libyan territory which the Brit ish had to recently conquered. That baited the sending of more troops to Greece, although it's doubtful whether the outcome would have been murh different had the British been able to pro vide double the number. The credit side ot the allied urwn lBAtian v w ., READY-TO-SERVE BALKAN V Question? ri This is Secretary of Stele Earl Snail, whose political plana are the subject of wide conjecture over the state. Mr. Snail di vulged bjo secrets, however. when he visited here a few days ago to give th address of wel come at the state convention of Job's Daughters. He is most worshipful grand master of the grand lodge of Oregon Mason. Governorship, congress and the senate are posts mentioned In political circle as having attrac tion for 8 nell. balance sheet does look slim, but if you take the troubl to ex amine it more closely you will find some surprising items which are favorable for instance: Herr Hitler has been forced against his will to fight for some thing which he had expected to get for nothing. Without the Yugoslav. Greek and British re sistance he would have been able to achieve his conquest of these Balkan stales by telephone- he is now frying to do with Tur key and Spain. The Balkan upheaval has In terrupted the smootn run of his assault on the British Isles the crucial operation of th whole war. . The nazis have lost heavily In casualties and in eiuipment. They have disrupted agricul ture throughout the great food producing countries of th Bal kans. Yugoslavia is a cripple on their hands her fertile lands un filled, her industries stopped, her communications destroyed or dislocated. Try the Classified Ada. 'NEW'-: ' ; SPECTATORS !
